Definition: An image map is an image (or images) on a Web page that contain links to information on a different Web page or Web site. For example, if you're looking for information on countries in Europe, you might come across an image map with links embedded in each country on the map leading to more information on another Web page. Image maps are simply a graphical way to display hyperlinks.
Examples:
An example of an image map is this interactive map of California.
